Description
Summary:The spiritual resources of Judaism date back to Abraham the patriarch, celebrated in the book of Genesis. He was the first to bear the name "Ivri"-"The Hebrew" (Gen 14:13). Abraham is regarded as the father of the Hebrew people. He came from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia. Nehemiah tells us: "You are Adonay, the God who chose Abram and brought him forth from Ur of the Chaldees and gave him the name Abraham (meaning 'father of a multitude') (9:7)." The Archaeologists and students of near-eastern antiquity would date Abraham at around 1935 B.C.
